EnerSys has extended its class-leading Hawker XFC range with two new models, including its first design with advanced Lithium-Ion technology for use in the Motive Power sector.
Both batteries are designed for low-duty pallet truck applications where operators want to maintain the availability of the equipment without the complexity and cost of additional infrastructure. The batteries can be recharged at any time irrespective of the state of charge without degrading their long-term performance or reliability.
Both technologies have an on-board charger and are ideal for applications with duty cycles lasting up to 45 minutes where periods of inactivity can be used for rapid opportunity charging. This means they are suitable for intermittent or sporadic handling requirements such as offloading delivery vehicles or replenishing displays in busy retail environments.
